White Out Thanks

Friday, May 9, 2014

Hi friends! Happy Friday! It's a new Viva la Verve week and Janelle has a fabulous sketch for you over on the VLV blog today. But since work took precedence over stamping this week, I'm sharing one last card made with the May Week 1 sketch + colors and will hopefully get a chance to play with Janelle's sketch this weekend.

I pulled outPetals & Wings for this one and stamped tons of petals in smoky slate on a white square, then the centers in so saffron. I wiped on a bit of gesso for a white-out effect and then decided to mute things a bit by layering a piece of vellum with the Being Awesome sentiment stamped on it. The flowers are cut with theWings & Petals Die Set and stamped with the coordinating stamps fromPetals & Wings. A bit of gesso is swiped onto my soft sky piece and I layered everything together with washi tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous start to your weekend!
